Veer violently after covering of snow? (6)
I believe the answer is:
swerve
'veer violently after covering of snow?' is the definition.
'swerve' can be an answer for 'veer' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'violently after covering of snow?' bit.
'veer violently after covering of snow?' is the wordplay.
'violently' is an anagram indicator (letters are violently disrupted).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'covering of' suggests removing the centre (only the letters which cover the word).
'snow' with its middle taken out is 'sw'.
'veer' is an anagram of 'erve'.
'erve' put after 'sw' is 'SWERVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swerve that I've seen before include "Veer, turn sharply" , "Turn suddenly aside from a straight course" , "Change direction abruptly" , "Veer wildly" , "Abrupt change of course" .)
